This song was originally written by Paul Pena. Steve Miller's drummer played the drum track on the studio session. He told Steve to check it out and Steve asked if he could use it. Paul agreed and lived off of the royalties from this and his movie. The album he recorded the song on was shelved and not released by Sony until 2001.
Paul was a blind blues player from Boston. He was invited to play in Montreal at a festival. This was the first time he was away from home and first time on a plane. He wrote this song about the experience.
